    Can you please do a video on Quantum-Resistant Cryptocurrencies like IOTA and how they differ from those that are supposedly more vulnerable?

    • @99Bitcoins
      @99Bitcoins  5 лет назад +1

      I doubt IOTA has any real resistance to quantum computing, given how lax they were with rolling their own crypto (see: old.reddit.com/r/Iota/comments/82kt9r/why_is_rolling_your_own_crypto_so_bad/)
      It's probably just a buzzword at this point for a crypto to claim quantum resistance, much like ASIC resistance.

  • @williamlandreth4002
    @williamlandreth4002 5 лет назад +1

    I was pretty sure the original intent was for the "exchange" to be a one-party exchange... makes sense. The "costs" involved would make perfect sense since this swapping ability is really important for the legacy crypto systems to be usable and survive into the future.
    Under the circumstances as you present them I would expect to be able to see a list of "asks" and "bids" so that people could state exactly how many BTC they would be willing to exchange for how many LTC....

    • @99Bitcoins
      @99Bitcoins  5 лет назад

      I can see a market emerging but then again, such markets already exist all over the world in the form of standard crypto exchanges. It's likely price will be set there without much divergence seen on atomic swap markets.

      Those fees would be collected from your balance as part of the transaction and handled automatically. They should be very low so not really an issue.

  • @arnebeerten9562
    @arnebeerten9562 4 года назад

    This is an amazing explanation! I have some questions though:
    I guess, to use your example, BTC and LTC chains have to be interoperable of some sort? How is this achieved? Through sidechains?
    Also, how can this be done free of charge without any fees involved? Is this all because of the Lightning Network? To be fair, I still need to research that topic.

    • @99Bitcoins
      @99Bitcoins  4 года назад +2

      Atomic swaps rely on the same technology which facilitates Lightning Networks, specificially Hash Time-Locked Contracts.
      HTLCs are essentially smart contracts which release funds contingent upon a condition being met within a certain timeframe. In the case of atomic swaps, the condition is the receipt of the crypto.
      So person A who wants LTC sends their BTC to a smart contract. This smart contract pays out the BTC to person B's address provided person B's LTC is received by the contract by X time and date. Person B's situation is a mirror.
      As far as I know, for atomic swaps to work, both coins must be Lightning-compatible.

      1. Find a Bitcoin/cryptocurrency exchange
      2. Deposit your Bitcoins on that exchange
      3. Sell your Bitcoins for CAD on the exchange
      4. Withdraw the CAD to your bank account

      if the atomic swap powered DEX you are using have enough liquidity it makes CEX obsolete indeed because it's cheaper (less fees) faster (no deposit delays) safer (you always own you keys) and more private (there is no KYC since you are using a DEX)
      But like I said it needs liquidity (i.e people marketmaking)
      In my opinion $KMD with AtomicDEX is leading this tech
